One of Burgundy's great monopoles, now thirty-five years old: 3.92 hectares inside Beaune's premier cru Les Greves, owned outright by Bouchard Pere et Fils since they bought it in the national assets sale of 1791. The name comes from a Carmelite nun, Marguerite du Saint-Sacrement, who prophesied the birth of Louis XIV — when the future Sun King arrived, the sisters' best vineyard became the Vigne de l'Enfant Jesus. The site sits at 230 to 250 metres on a gentle east/southeast slope of gravelly, limestone-studded clay over shallow bedrock, which is why the wine has always leaned toward silk and perfume rather than muscle. 1990 was a warm, dry vintage that gave ripe, concentrated reds with the structure to go the distance, and a Beaune premier cru from that year is fully mature today — this is a bottle to open, not to keep. Stand it upright for a day and decant gently off the sediment.

Robert Parker

90 points

"The superb 1990 Beaune-Greves-Vigne de l'Enfant Jesus is the best wine to come from this famous vineyard in over 25 years. The dense, dark ruby/purple color is followed by gorgeously sweet aromas of roasted herbs, sweet black-cherries, raspberries, and toasty vanillin scents. Rich and full-bodied, with an opulent, voluptuous texture, superb depth, focus, and finish, this is a thrilling wine to drink over the next 10-15 years. Bravo!" —Robert M. Parker, Jr.

More about Bouchard Pere et Fils

Bouchard is one of the larger land owners and negociants (purchasing fruit from other farmers) in Burgundy, but that means that the wines are often terrific value. 50 or 60 years ago, long before the Cote d'Or was full of famous domaines and winemakers whose wines fetch hundreds or thousands of dollars, most of the Burgundy you would find at cafés and bistros was from negociants.
